national biomedical research agenda.   

Consistent with the mission of the Institute, the NIBIB will award T32 
grants in areas associated with bioengineering, biomedical imaging, and 
multi-disciplinary research aimed at addressing problems in biology and 
medicine.  NIBIB awards will be for either pre-doctoral or post-
